RATE:★

Pages:512

Author: Ally Condie

Published: November 2012

This is the third and final book from the Matched series, I recommend the first book. I enjoyed that and the second book was good enough for me to get the third book but this is going to to contain a lot of spoilers if you haven't read anything. So read the books and then come back,lool. 

-------------------------------------

What a let down, I waited so long to read this book. I enjoyed matched and unlike a lot of people I actually liked Reached but this book was very surprising for me and that’s not a good thing.
In short it was like reading a Holby city or some A&E script play, I don’t how many times I read about this stupid cure and the love triangle, what love triangle. I only started to see any affection at the end of the book.

It was dull, repetitive and honestly, as I was reading this I actually thought to my self, is she serious, is the author actually happy about this bull she’s written. It was that bad


SOME Spoilers-


Let’s start with the storyline- It’s basically about the rising, the pilot and Cure that turns into a mutation and kills people. The plague going viral. The most boring thing I would say was reading about was the plague, like who enjoyed that in school.

The storyline had no action, no suspense, it was boring, dull and I can’t believe it.
Anyways, moving on to the characters. Cassie first, I didn’t hate her or like her, she was so and so…She was weak but that’s because she did nothing as nothing really happened in the story. She was immuned to all the pills and she just went on and on about those stupid poems, I just stopped reading them to be honest.

Ky, again, I don’t know about him, the only interesting thing with him was when Indie kissed him but then nothing happened, he was like he kissed her back because of how Cassie was like and then he told Cassie and she didn’t even do anything but I guess that doesn’t matter she kissed Xander on the previous book. But there’s no jealously, anger, fighting, arguing….GIVE ME Something at least.

Then there was Xander, awe, poor Xander….I sometimes felt like why was he still fighting for her like really and truly, she never showed him that she liked him and it wasn’t even a love triangle that should have carried on to this third book because she chose Ky all through the second book. However, the ending is the worst somehow Xander falls in love with Lancy, Lei whatever her name and l love you, l love you….like actions speak louder than words…It was so unrealistic, fake, I just can’t be asked to come up with anything ending….

The worst thing is that when I picked up matched it about a girl who gets matched with two guys and she loves them both differently….l think but this book, there was no romance at all….I didn’t see it or feel it….Even between Ky and Cassie it’s like Plague, pilot, cure and that sucked.

Finally words, I was highly disappointed with the book and I only finished it to see what would happen and nothing really shocked me. Happy endings all around, such a shame….
